Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 149

The Whitfield family's swanky digs were a sight to behold, but Agnes was too anxious to appreciate them right now.

Her legs were shaking like jelly as she followed Jared upstairs.

Seeing this, Jared took the initiative and grabbed her trembling hand.

They came to the door of the study, and Jared gave it a gentle knock.

The door wasn't even closed.

Tim Whitfield's voice from inside, "Come in."

Agnes trailed behind Jared as they walked in.

There were only two people in the study.

One was the head honcho of the Whitfield family, Tim, and the other was his daughter, Alyssa Whitfield.

Alyssa, a media studies student, was a name you'd see plastered across all sorts of fashion magazines and news articles.

Thirty years ago, she was a hot-shot movie star.

But at the peak of her career, she chose to step out of the limelight, settle down, and have kids.

The juiciest gossip about her was that her ex-husband was Asia's richest man, Cillian.

But the woman aged like fine wine, looking barely past thirty though she was over forty.

She carried herself with an elegance that commanded respect and admiration.

When Alyssa saw Jared walk in, her face lit up with an adoring smile.

Jared was Alyssa's darling, a fact that was common knowledge.

After all, Jared's mom had passed away early, and Alyssa had raised him.

However, when Alyssa spotted Agnes, her smile froze in place.
